Speedy deletion nomination of Katie Hill (congressional candidate)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Katie Hill (congressional candidate), requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. reddogsix (talk) 22:17, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Help me! Wikipedia page affiliation incorrectly listed

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Hi there,

I recently created my first wikipedia page, but I received a notification that it might be speedily deleted. I contested the deletion, but it says that I am affiliated or paid by the individual person I created the page about, which is not correct. I am not paid nor am I affiliated with the campaign, so I’m not sure why the page was looked at as being deleted, and as to why I was listed as such.

You'll find it difficult to convince people that you aren't associated with the subject of the article in some way. How did you come to know all the information that the cited sources don't contain?

Irrespective of that, the article is nominated for deletion because it's blatantly promotional and because unelected candidated for office generally aren't notable enough to be the subject of an encyclopedia article. Huon (talk) 23:45, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I'm a bit confused, this is my first wikipedia page. I would really appreciate help in understanding the reason for the deletion when another candidate in this race has a wikipedia page. I'd really appreciate help with this, and will support a deletion or revision or what ever is needed to correct this and the affiliation that I have with the subject, as I have volunteered with them before, but was not aware that this violated wikipedia's ethics. Thank you very much for your help!Lukiholtz (talk) 23:56, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
